Jennifer
Selzer and Daniel Huber have written three books together. Selzer was born and
raised in Los Angeles. She wrote her first book at 11 years old. Huber grew up
in on the Central California coast and currently lives in an L.A. suburb with
his wife.

Desmond
McKenna returns home to England to finish out the final days of his life. He’s
sad and lonely and his long years on the earth have only fueled his
desperation. But a revelation could change all that as Desmond still learns
something after all this time.

Appraisal:

Return to Bryn Mairwyn read like a preview, or perhaps an
epilogue, of a longer story. Perhaps that’s what the authors have in mind.

Immediately,
there is a connection with Desmond McKenna. He’s returned home after a long
time away with the feelings that it’s time to end things where they began. The
desperation is there, the loss, the loneliness. He’s ready to end his long,
long life that has been filled with heartache and struggle.

For
Desmond, an issue is that no one understands his plight. He’s gone through his
life with no one else like him – or so he thought.

When
Desmond meets a similar person, it adds doubt to his decision.

Instead of
completely letting go, he turns into his true form of a dragon and feels the
joy that he was originally intended to feel.

What does
he ultimately decide? That question is unfulfilled with the story left open-ended
for the reader to fill in the blanks.

The short
story was compelling enough for me to want to know more and find out if Desmond
is able to find peace. So, if there is a novel-length book to this short story,
it’s likely I will read the rest of Desmond’s story whether the tale is about
what came before or after this story.
